Do I love coffee? Yes I do. Coffee can get really pricy…read more I guess the average cost is 30 - 50 for a latte. 50HKD for a latte is considered a PLURGE for me! Anyway, Pacific Coffee is a better alternative to Starbucks on any day. It's not the best, and there's nothing super unique or special about the coffee but it does do the job when I need the extra kick for the day. This location does not have a big food selection, so don't come in here really hungry. It's best for snacks and light meals. The sandwiches are pricy for what they give you. Frankly, I always try to avoid their food as it's never filling. This Pacific Coffee is located in Repulse Bay so the surroundings are fancy and is very relaxing if you want to sit outside under the umbrellas. Because of the minimal crowd, it is general peaceful. Enjoy all the way to the last drop!

Finally, a coffeehouse serving legit coffee in the Happy Valley neighborhood!…read more Before Happy Alley Coffee Bar's arrival, our choices included Starbucks and Pacific Coffee... not great, as both have a decidedly corporate feel. So obviously, HACB is the breath of fresh air we've been awaiting 'round here. My usual order is the flat white, which always has that signature delicate flavor and the perfect amount of microfoam. They use Julius Meinl beans, an Austrian brand I first got into when I was living in Chicago! Very good stuff. In addition to coffee drinks, HACB also serves wine, Steigl draft and grapefruit and lemon radlers, and even basic cocktails. And because they allow our furry friends to join us on the small patio, it's quickly becoming a favorite after-work spot for indulging in adult beverages as well. My only gripe is that it appears all of their food is sourced from local chain Classified. I really, really detest Classfied's subpar, overpriced grub, so hopefully HACB has future plans to get access to better food options. It would be the smart move, and would match their local spirit and perceived premise of being the lone independent option in a sea of neighborhood corporate coffeehouses. I genuinely hope that HACB shall prosper and stick around for the long haul! I've heard that businesses in this odd alley location tend not to survive, so drop by next time you're in the area and give HACB a try.

Happy Alley is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. It is a small coffee bar with draft beer,…read morea good wine selection and a full cocktail menu -- and most importantly, delicious coffee! Tucked away alongside the ramp leading from Yik Yam Street down to Wong Nai Chung Road and the tram terminus area, right next to Subway. It may be easy to miss, but you shouldn't pass it by. The iced coffees are excellent, bold without being bitter and refreshing on a hot summer day. The specialty hot coffees are also equally delicious. The bar menu and reasonably-priced draft beer (Steigl only) are a welcome option that makes Happy Alley an excellent spot to hit on your way to AND from work. The interior is small with some counter seating, but there are also a few tables outside and around the side in the alley that make it a relaxing place to hang out. There is also plenty of open outdoor space to stand and hang out if the tables are occupied. This is precisely the type of establishment I was hoping would open in this space and plan to make myself a regular visitor.

I miss the Hong Kong coffee scene so much! Coffee Academics was one of my go-tos for when I was…read morelooking for a place to study or chill in the city. I like the CWB for its location and it's consistency in food. It's not the most cost effective and getting a food item and coffee can get pretty pricey. I like the pancake stacks and manuka honey latte, which I get everytime I go.

Ok... So, when Buzzfeed, Instagram, Foursquare, in addition to the local places, are raving about…read moresome place, you expect it to be stunning. I walked into a coffee store, with lovely coffee quotes btw, from the street. The food options were very meh, the coffee was very meh, and the sesame chocolate cake I had was very meh. All in all, I spent more money here (HKD120) than ANY OTHER coffee shop I visited in HK, for time and food that I did not enjoy. When I order coffee from a place that is supposedly known for their coffee, I want to not taste burnt, old coffee (you know: stale, greasy aftertaste, slickness that clings to your tongue). Also, didn't even get a good insta pic... I actually should have stayed at Lex Coffee.

The location also has newspapers for you to read and rent while you are drinking your coffee. They even have a computer available. Unfortunately, it was out of service. Finally, I love that their coffee doesn't have that burnt after taste which Starbucks unfortunately has. Pacific Coffee reminds me of Peet's which like Starbucks has locations back home in the U.S. Again, excellent coffee with excellent service. Thanks for the wonderful coffee!

To my high hopes of finding this place on Instagram to coming here, the experience was slightly…read moreunderwhelming. First off, layout of the place is kind of weird. The entrance faces a couple of steps to an elevated level where the seating is. To the left of the entrance is baristas doing their thing but you can also see baristas on the second level too. So where do we go? We walked up the stairs to get seats and proceeded to the second level barista who then told us to order on the first level. Couldn't have been easier if the barista was more attentive by greeting and waiting for people to come up to order? Anyways, we grabbed the menu and decided to get some drinks as a break from walking. Since it was hot, I got an iced mocha. And honestly, nothing special. It was just satisfying to drink something sweet and cold. Hype? Maybe. Would I come back here again? Maybe if I was desperate enough to sit at a minimal looking spot and try another drink.

Okay, there are actually Hong Kong style cafes around, and there are Melbourne style cafes.
